The Liturgy of the Hours is a set of daily prayers in the Christian tradition, particularly within the Roman Catholic Church. It is designed to sanctify the day and mark specific times with prayer, reflecting on scripture and the life of Jesus Christ. The prayers are structured around the hours of the day, including morning, evening, and night prayers. This practice is also known as the Divine Office and consists of various components such as psalms, hymns, and readings. It is often recited by clergy, religious communities, and laypeople, fostering a rhythm of prayer that connects individuals to the broader Christian community and the divine throughout the day.
